Winter Break

Other parents would agree, staying home with a toddler all day is not an option. In the winter, options are obviously limited, but we've been finding new and fun things to do this last week! 

Our outings have included, 
-Sky Zone, Toddler Trampoline Time
- Rosedale Mall
- Barnes and Noble
- Eagles Nest indoor playground
- Day at Spirit Mountain, skiing (without kiddo) 

Foam pit at Sky Zone

Busy days!

Hope everyone else is having a great break too!

A night with the elves

Tonight we went to see "A day in the life of an elf," at Macy's.  I'm never amused when I leave. It's is a very small display and for the effort it takes to wrangle a tot to get there...whatever i'm going to see better be worth it! Tonight it took 5 minutes to walk through and we were done, but I have to admit, if you haven't been there...go once at least (on a week night). The important part is that Gavin liked it. He even got to write a letter to Santa :)

On our way!

Let. Me. Out!





Busy writing Santa a letter

Oh hey, a Christmas picture!

Thanks for smiling, short stack

...what Gavin thought of pictures

Bye bye

14 Months and Giving Thanks



Today, Gavin is 14 months and the girls are 18 months. In the first picture, Gavin is 6 days old and the girls, 4 months. The three peas are growing up so fast!



He has well over-passed the girls in weight and appetite. The girls are so chatty and love singing, while Gavin is happy being on the go and running circles around the girls. He is in 18 and 24 month clothes. His waist is close to 24 mo, while his legs are about a 12-18 month length. Dilemma! He is also eating anything and everything. His breakfast with Grandma earlier this week was 2 eggs, 2 oatmeal pancakes and a half piece of toast with milk. Sharing my meals out with him is getting harder and harder.

We had my sister and her family, my Mom and Bruce over tonight. It was a full house with lots of laughs and food. I made homemade meat and vegetable lasagna (my fave food!), which turned out well. It was fun to have everyone over.

Girls only
